I thought part of the track still used public roads. Part was race only. Like Le Mans.

Nope, it's a dedicated track and has been for a long time. It started its life as an intersection of 3 roads though.
Commercials? F1 is serious here... only 2 or 3 short commercials during the race. I hate watching 'ball for this very reason. 1 min of commercials during every huddle lol.
American commercials also seem directed to an audience of retarded people. Advertisers mustn't have a high consideration of the final users.

I gave up my 120" screen for a much better British coverage and most importantly... NO ADS!

Massa is dumb. As dumb as Barrichello.
We have nando pulling fast laps and he's standing mid grid fighting with useless human beings.

Massa's 16th. He has at least 8 useless drivers in front of him
Button's 17th.

Other rain's expected... hope it comes soon!
With a wet track at least ferrari can gather some data: mechanical grip is more important than aerodynamics so at least the car works well. Now they know it's about aerodynamics and possibly overall chassis settings...

honestly i think only petrov, maldanado, vergne are probably the "worse" drivers... giving the others a decent car, i'd think they'd be better than massa fair and square no doubt.

It's a good thing I'm setting in the office chair. If I was in the recliner, I would fall back to sleep.

Luck not so much, rain yes.
Perez is a very good driver that benefited from the rain as much as alonso but pitted one lap too late.
Rain evidences drivers and mechanical grip. Alonso IS the driver. He managed to keep the lead even with Perez closing in, forcing him to make a mistake by letting him follow before a fast corner, thus letting him lose grip.
Most other drivers would have taken the slower yet safer inner line to avoid being passed, Nando didn't do that.

Hamilton did a superb race despite his pit problems. Button was unlucky for once. This year's ferrari is a piece of crap and we only have 1 driver capable of scoring points. This was an isolated event anyway.
